<p>I&#39;m not gay so I couldn&#39;t begin to imagine what my opinion would be if I were. But I don&#39;t believe in gay marriage myself, I&#39;m a supporter of civil unions. To me, it&#39;s simple logic. Marriage is an institution created by various religious groups for men and women. But, these institutions have made their way into common law (spousal rights, etc). Honestly I don&#39;t understand why a gay person would WANT to be a part of something that specifically excludes them. But gay people do deserve the spousal rights that go along with marriage. Thus, the civil union. The only difference between civil unions and marriage is that marriage is for straight, religious people. I&#39;m a straight, non-religious person, I don&#39;t think I could ever be technically &quot;married&quot; either because marriage IS a religious institution. But modern marriage is more of a procedure of the courts, and gays should have those same rights - but calling it marriage is silly.</p>
<p>As far as Karl goes, well, he&#39;s kinda off base, but I get his angle. </p>
<p>Actually one of my favorite people in the world is a friend / client of mine who is a secure gay man who has been in a committed relationship for over a decade, and he was the one who opened my eyes to the fact that not all gay people agree with gay marriage. I think it&#39;s admirable, and very smart of people to think outside of SELF and be aware of what these terms actually mean.</p>MoJo commented on 'Karl Lagerfeld 'Against' the Idea of Gay Marriage'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef013488036310970c2010-10-06T19:18:11Z2010-10-06T19:18:20ZMoJoYa, he only "believes in" drinking blood.<p>Ya, he only &quot;believes in&quot; drinking blood.</p>Lena commented on 'Karl Lagerfeld 'Against' the Idea of Gay Marriage'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef01347fde2306970c2010-04-14T13:24:56Z2010-04-14T13:24:56ZLenaI am shocked by your rudeness people, if you are all gay, no wonder nobody likes you !!!!<p>I am shocked by your rudeness people, if you are all gay, no wonder nobody likes you !!!!</p>corncobb commented on 'Karl Lagerfeld 'Against' the Idea of Gay Marriage'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef0120a9521d53970b2010-03-19T00:43:31Z2010-03-19T00:43:31ZcorncobbFor the record, Mr. LaBruce is legally married in Canada so that makes him a HYPOCRITE.<p>For the record, Mr. LaBruce is legally married in Canada so that makes him a HYPOCRITE. </p>Norm D PLume commented on 'Karl Lagerfeld 'Against' the Idea of Gay Marriage'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef0120a9505804970b2010-03-18T18:11:32Z2010-03-18T18:11:32ZNorm D PLumeI respect the rights of millionaire queers not to marry.

But he&#39;s a fucking asshole for dismissing the fact that millions of us queers are NOT millionaires and can&#39;t afford to buy our equality. This is why class matters more than sexual orientation. We share more in common with working class straight people than we do with rich queers like Joe Solomonese or Karl Lagerfeld or Barney Frank.</p>RIOTBEAR commented on 'Karl Lagerfeld 'Against' the Idea of Gay Marriage'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef01310fb6413e970c2010-03-18T15:05:45Z2010-03-18T15:05:45ZRIOTBEARhttp://fooddocumentary.comthis is the world view from a privileged man living in his home country. gay marriage isn't about being more...<p>this is the world view from a privileged man living in his home country. gay marriage isn&#39;t about being more like them it&#39;s about legal protection. my boyfriend is swedish and has spent 6 months out of the year fighting to get a work visa so he can live in the US. he has a partner here, a house and a life. if we were straight we could just get married.</p>ben commented on 'Karl Lagerfeld 'Against' the Idea of Gay Marriage'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef0120a94da2b7970b2010-03-18T08:28:08Z2010-03-18T08:28:08ZbenI'm so desperate to be considered normal that I want to pretend to be straight and act like a straight...<p>I&#39;m so desperate to be considered normal that I want to pretend to be straight and act like a straight person because I&#39;m so insecure and afraid about being different. I want to pretend to be the wife while the husband goes to work and I make him dinner and I look after our little asian throw-away baby. I want to marry just like normal people in a church based on a religion which states in black and white that it detests my very existence. I want to wear a white suit because I&#39;m the bottom and he&#39;ll wear a black suit because he&#39;s a top and we&#39;ll force the church and the priest to pretend we&#39;re straight so that we can feel normal. This mentality is so repulsive. Just except that we&#39;re different and stop trying to ape straight people.</p>dm10003 commented on 'Karl Lagerfeld 'Against' the Idea of Gay Marriage'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef0120a94c9766970b2010-03-18T03:35:34Z2010-03-18T03:35:34Zdm10003http://lovepaw.blogspot.com/karl, you are making a common mistake. you describe your experience and taste as if that was the way things...<p>karl, you are making a common mistake. you describe your experience and taste as if that was the way things should be or are for everyone.</p>PM commented on 'Karl Lagerfeld 'Against' the Idea of Gay Marriage'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef01310fb2004b970c2010-03-17T21:34:20Z2010-03-17T21:34:20ZPMIgnorant fool.<p>Ignorant fool. </p>carl commented on 'Karl Lagerfeld 'Against' the Idea of Gay Marriage'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef0120a94aad42970b2010-03-17T19:39:08Z2010-03-17T19:39:08ZcarlWell, if I ever thought about purchasing an item of clothing or a bottle of cologne from the Haus of...<p>Well, if I ever thought about purchasing an item of clothing or a bottle of cologne from the Haus of Lagerfeld, I will think again!</p>jamal49 commented on 'Karl Lagerfeld 'Against' the Idea of Gay Marriage'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef0120a94a85da970b2010-03-17T19:00:03Z2010-03-17T19:00:03Zjamal49Actually, I'm against the idea of Karl Lagerfeld.

He makes it sound as if his overprotective life was something that was done to him. This is the life he chooses. To state that homophobia never touched anyone he knows clearly indicates he does not even know the people around him. </p>STEVE RICHMOND commented on 'Karl Lagerfeld 'Against' the Idea of Gay Marriage'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef01310fb02cb8970c2010-03-17T16:22:49Z2010-03-17T16:22:49ZSTEVE RICHMONDold queen. take your antquated thoughts back to where you came from.<p>old queen. take your antquated thoughts back to where you came from.</p>David commented on 'Karl Lagerfeld 'Against' the Idea of Gay Marriage'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef01310fb01f9d970c2010-03-17T16:09:19Z2010-03-17T16:09:19ZDavidhe's an old man whore who doesn't want to grow up.
